animal and plant rep Flashcards
process of creating new individual using two parent organisms
gametes join and create an organism with mixed traits
sexual reproduction
process of creating new individual using one parent or organism
offspring is identical to parent
asexual reproduction
new organism that results from reproduction
offspring
sex cell
gamete
joining of gametes to form new organism
fertilization
cell formed during fusion of two gametes
zygote
types of asexual reproduction
binary fission
budding
fragmentation
parthogenesis
single parent doubles its DNA then divides into two cells, usually occurs in bacteria
binary fission
Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the
formation of two individuals.
budding
Organisms break into two or more fragments that develop into
a new individual
fragmentation
An embryo develops from an unfertilized cell
parthenogenesis
process where flowering plants reproduce sexually
pollination
male and female sex organs in plants
stamens and pistils
part of the stamen that contains pollen in plants
anther
self-pollination vs cross-pollination
plants own pollen to own ovules vs plants pollen to other ovules
animals that carry pollen between plants
pollinator
scaly bulbs, short underground stems that have a basal plate that is usually surrounded by modified leaves (tunic)
true bulbs
similar to true bulbs. However doesn’t have as many layers
corms
underground growths produce new plants from stems or growing points called eyes
tubers
These stems grow sideways along the soil or just below the surface. They branch apart to produce new points of growth.
rhizomes
They look like branches growing along the ground and anchor themselves to the ground and develop roots. And these roots grow into new plants.
stolons
a form of asexual reproduction in some species of grasses. The
plant produces seed without fertilization.
apomixis
people who study plants. They often use asexual reproduction
through fragmentation to grow new plants
horticulturists
